9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Three-time winner including this race last season off 3lb higher; below best in two runs this term, including in race he won last year at the Curragh on his latest start; capable off this mark but needs to rediscover best. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Won this last year off 83 and followed up at Leopardstown (1m1f, gd-fm) off 88; no joy in Bahrain in the winter; soft ground not ideal on seasonal reappearance at Leopardstown and is on last winning mark now, so can't discount. |

Four wins up to 7.5f and in varying ground conditions; was beaten a long way on return over 6f at the Curragh in March; can do a lot better today but others preferred. |

Fine campaign last season included wins at Naas (6f, gd-yld) and Leopardstown (7.5f, good); excellent run off this mark in 1m premier handicap here (good) in June; below best when last seen at Galway in August; handles softer ground and could go well if he's fit. |

Has done really well since joining current trainer this year, winning at Naas and Leopardstown (beating Fort Vega) and good second in Curragh premier handicap; fast ground may not have suited last time; cheekpieces now tried and rider's claim a positive. |

Dual C&D winner (on good and heavy) in 2024 but no joy since; beaten 1l when third in this last year and 1lb lower now but had the benefit of a recent run that day; might need this after 238 days off but Keane booked so market check advised. |

9st 4lb |
Veteran's last win came over C&D in the Irish Cambridgeshire in August 2023; didn't get the clearest of runs when a 2.75l fifth in this last year and 11lb lower now; not beaten far the last twice, fast ground is fine and he's an interesting runner. |

11th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y |

Four-time winner but not since Irish Cambridgeshire win of 2024; definite encouragement on penultimate run at this track (1m2f) when beaten 3.5l in sixth; kept on well to take 1l third at Cork (10.5f, good to yielding) on latest; off a winnable mark and drop in trip is in this veteran's favour. |

Four-time winner but not since Irish Cambridgeshire win of 2024; definite encouragement on second start back off reduced mark without quite staying this trip at Leopardstown; blinkers now replace visor and now 11lb below career-high mark but stamina remains a concern at this trip. |

Easy to make a case on plenty of her handicap runs, including when second to a smart British raider at the Curragh in May (1m, good); tried cheekpieces last week at Leopardstown but unseated her rider soon after exiting the stalls. |

Allowed to dictate from the front when good second in Curragh premier handicap in late May (good) and ran well for long way in similar contest on Derby weekend; in between well held on quick ground at Ascot; generally consistent sort respected but others possibly better handicapped. |

Won off 5lb lower at the Curragh last season (1m2f, yielding); not a bad run over that C&D on seasonal return but struggled upped to 1m4f there on latest; eased 1lb, cheekpieces go on and this shorter trip more suitable so not dismissed. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo; overall record of 1-14 but he's been in good form for new yard this season, including second in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May, with reopposing Flying Frontier back in fourth; bumped into a well-treated rival when runner-up again at Nottingham last time; likely to be on the premises under Oisin Murphy. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo; overall record of 1-13 but he's been in good form for new yard this season and has been placed in Class 2 events (1m2f) in his last two starts; seems versatile ground-wise and he could make a major impact if this sets up for his closing style. |
4/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |

Rather disappointing for Dermot Weld in Ireland after winning a soft-ground maiden; has still not added to that 2024 win but he's been highly competitive in 1m2f handicaps on all three starts for new connections, runner-up to an unexposed rival in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (good to firm) 11 days ago; each-way claims again. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor. |

Won this in 2024 off 4lb higher, his last win; well beaten in repeat bid last season but then chased home Slieve Binnian in hot handicap at Leopardstown; not a bad run on seasonal return at Naas and soft wouldn't have suited on latest; could go well back on faster ground if the new blinkers provide a spark. |

Best run last year when second in valuable C&D handicap (good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces off 90; form regressed afterwards but encouraging seasonal return (well-backed) at Naas last month over 1m; down in grade here off a fair mark so one to consider. |

Best runs last year came in a valuable Leopardstown handicap (1m1f, good to firm) when second in first-time cheekpieces, and when a close sixth at the Curragh next time in the same headgear; form regressed when headgear left off in two runs afterwards and it doesn't appear here. |
